Grace came out in 1984 at the very beginning of the worst part of the AIDS epidemic. The epidemic would burn for another twelve years until drug therapies would change HIV from a death sentence to a manageable infection. During that time, it killed 700K Americans and millions worldwide. Afterimage took on a special meaning for entirely too many people after losing so many people from our generation. Even now, all these years later, it can still bring tears to my eyes.
Such a cool album! Almost a perfect album for me. 1- Red Sector A 2- The Enemy Within 3- Distant Early Warning 4- Afterimage 5- Kid Gloves (Corny as hell but really fun) 6- Body Electric 7- Between the Wheels 8- Red Lenses (I don't like this one at all lol)
I cut my Rush teeth on their Kings album around 1980, spent the next couple of years buying all their stuff, when this album came out in 84 I was a bit disappointed and never have grown to like it like I have many of their other albums
1. Between the Wheels 2. Red Sector A 3. The Enemy Within 4. Afterimage 5. Distant Early Warning 6. The Body Electric 7. Kid Gloves 8. Red Lenses (still a good song imo)
